Mala Villa, or else... Authentic Cretan Hospitality at its best

The villa takes its name from the ancient city of Malla that was located west of the beautiful, modern-day village of Malles. It blends into the beauty of the Cretan landscape that surrounds it and invites you to enjoy truly enjoyable holidays, be it winter or summer. Mala Villa, a holiday complex of five detached deluxe homes with a view of the Cretan Sea, is the very quintessence of luxury and comfort, located on Crete’s eastern tip in the prefecture of Lasithi.

The fresh sea breeze mingles with the rich scent of herbs and aromatic plants that grow on the steep slopes of the Dikti mountain range and in the impressive gorges dotted across the prefecture, awakening the senses and offering the traveller the sense of peace and revitalisation that only the Greek countryside can bring, all within an environment of authentic hospitality.

The five modern luxury holiday homes that make up the Mala Villa complex are the epitome of comfort and beauty, offering an unimpeded view of Myrtos Valley, the Lasithian Mountains and the Libyan Sea. They are completely in harmony with the purity of the countryside surrounding them, and have been bestowed names that refer to herbs and scented plants that abound on the island: Dittany, Marjoram, Thyme, Mint and Lavender, conveying a sense of freshness and earthy authenticity to guests from the moment they arrive.

Excellent Location

MALLES

Mala Villa is located at one of the most beautiful villages in the prefecture of Lasithi, Malles, in the Ierapetra region some 60 km from the prefecture’s capital, Agios Nikolaos. Swathed in olive groves, at an altitude of 600 m, the village has a rich history, and has long impressed travellers with its wonderful natural landscape. Nature lovers from all over the world are invited to come discover its hidden beauty, as they criss-cross the paths and gorges, the pine forests and extensive vineyards the area has to offer.

The Malles area, where the Mala Villa complex of luxury residences is located, is an ideal base-camp from which you can explore Eastern Crete, namely both the NE coasts (Vai, Sitia, Agios Nikolaos and Elounda) and the southern coasts (Ierapetra, beaches of the Libyan Sea) offering lots of opportunities for action-packed outings as you explore the island’s countryside and history.
